While few hairstyles beat Halle Berry’s iconic pixie cut, we also love the long, bouncy blowouts mastered by Gisele Bündchen, Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé. Additional voluminous hair icons include Jane Fonda in Barbarella (Sydney Sweeney will star in the remake of the 1968 cult sci-fi film) and — more recently — Gen Z muse Matilda Djerf. One thing all of these women have in common is that they’ve inspired dozens of fans to attempt their legendary looks at home with the help of hair styling tools.

While the very viral Dyson Airwrap is a clear crowd-pleaser, some of us may be looking for a similar multi-tasking tool that gets the job done for a fraction of the price. If you’re on the hunt for well-vetted alternatives, we’ve rounded up some of the best Dyson Airwrap alternatives for salon-quality blowouts. From T3’s celebrity stylist-approved tool and Shark’s new Dyson competitor, to a new favorite by Amazon brand Fentgo, see our top picks below.

The Best Black Friday Deals on Dyson Airwrap Alternatives

T3 Aire 360 Multi-Styler & Blowout System After extensively testing out T3’s just-launched Aire 360 multi-styler across several months, we can confidently say that it’s our new alternative to the Airwrap. We love the ceramic coating on the curling attachments and brush, and we’ve noticed that our styles last for days with the help of heat protectant spray before and flexible-hold hair spray after.

The T3 Aire 360 multi-styler has a lightweight, slim base that feels comfortable to hold and maneuver. It comes with four attachments: a gloss-giving oval brush, two ceramic 1.35-in. curling barrels (one left and one right) and a SoftAire concentrator. Designed to leave hair glossy and without heat damage, the multi-tool air styler has three heat and speed settings (up to 237 degrees Fahrenheit) and is equipped with a smart microchip to distribute precise, digitally-controlled heat.

Amazon BEST Blow Dryer Brush

Drybar Reserve 3-in-1 Interchangeable Blow Dryer Celebrity hairstylist Bryce Scarlett (who works with Hailey Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, Margot Robbie and more) is an ambassador for Drybar, which is known for making Hollywood blowouts accessible to all. The brand’s Reserve 3-in-1 Interchangeable Blow Dryer features an ultralight, ergonomic design and three interchangeable attachments — an oval brush, paddle brush and concentrator — to help you achieve long-lasting waves at your leisure.

Sephora BEST Value

Shark FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System Hollywood hairstylist Chris Appleton is an ambassador of Shark’s FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System, which has quickly become a direct Dyson Airwrap competitor. In our experience, it’s noticeably heavier than Dyson’s tool and doesn’t offer the same Coanda hair-wrapping effect (which helps deliver tighter, smoother curls and styling), but is still comparable in getting the job done in record time and on a budget.

The set comes in two system options based on your hair type, plus a bonus build-your-own system if you want to mix accessories. The Straight and Wavy system features two 1.25-in. auto-wrap curlers, one oval brush, one concentrator and one paddle brush, while the Curly and Coily system comes with all of those accessories, except the paddle brush is swapped for a curl-defining diffuser.

Amazon BEST BLOW DRYER BRUSH UNDER $100

Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus 2.0 Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush
With over 430,000 positive ratings of four stars or more, Revlon’s One-Step Volumizer Plus 2.0 Hair Dryer styler is one of the best affordable Dyson Airwrap alternatives — and it’s on sale for 56 percent off during Prime Day. It offers a versatile 2.4-in. head size that helps create a range of styling options, from flips to soft waves. Other key features include your choice of four heat settings (low, medium, high and cool), a smooth glide that helps reduce frizz and ceramic barrel with titanium tourmaline to reduce and protect against heat damage.

Amazon BEST CURLER FOR MEDIUM-LENGTH HAIR

Chi Spin N Curl Over 26,000 shoppers have spoken, and they’re reaching for Chi’s Spin N Curl tool to recreate salon-quality curls and waves like Gisele Bündchen in her Victoria’s Secret Angel era. One unique detail that sets this styler apart is its design: hair is inserted into the opening of the curl chamber rather than wrapped around the tool, making it kinder to your wrists.
Word to the wise: reviewers recommend this tool for short to medium-length hair, as those with longer hair may have a difficult time dealing with the curl chamber’s strand limitations. (It will beep if you put too much hair in at once.)

BEST Wallet-friendly option

Conair Hot Air Brush Devotees of InfinitiPro by Conair’s seemingly discontinued Hot Air Multi-Styler will find a worthy (and more wallet-friendly) alternative in the 1,000-watt Conair Hot Air Brush. It features a double ceramic heating design that delivers even heat for fast styling and two speed settings. This one also comes with three attachments: a 1.25-inch thermal brush for curling or straightening, and a concentrator for silky smooth tresses and a .75-inch nylon and boar bristle brush for curling.

Amazon BEST ALL-IN-ONE STYLER FOR TRAVELING

L’Ange Le Duo 360 Airflow Titanium Styler Given that our hairstyles change with our moods, L’Ange’s Le Duo 360 Airflow Styler makes it easy to switch from a smooth and sleek look to a bouncy curls moment. Favorite features include floating titanium plates with rounded edges for even heat distribution and none of the creasing and snagging we’ve all experienced while attempting waves with a basic flat iron. This styler also includes a built-in fan and 360-degree vented airflow to instantly cool hair on contact, locking in your shiny, frizz-free style. It has five temperature settings from 280°F to 430°F and a built-in clip to easily secure and style hair, and the dual voltage makes it great for traveling.

Shark Beauty FASTEST AIR DRYER AND STYLER

Shark SpeedStyle Hair Dryer One more innovative Shark tool, this time the powerful SpeedStyle hair dryer (also available in curly/coily or wavy/straight options, or build your own set) that claims to automatically recognize styles and intelligently set heat and airflow, thanks to its dual optical sensors. Ideal for those on the go, Fans are most impressed with its high-velocity heated air and ionized air output, which delivers ultra-fast drying with no heat damage.

Amazon BEST VALUE AIRWRAP ALTERNATIVE

Revamp Progloss Airstyle 6-in-1 Hot Air Multi Styler For the most bang for buck, Revamp’s Proglass Airstyle multi-tasking styler features a generous six attachments for customization: a curl diffuser, a .75-in. air curling iron, a 1.5-in. rotating air brush, a 1.25-in. bristle brush, a cushioned paddle brush and a drying nozzle. The tool’s ceramic barrel is also infused with progloss super smooth oils including keratin, argan and coconut oils to lock in frizz-free shine and hydration.

Sephora BEST FOR CURLY AND COILY HAIR

Amika Blow Dryer Brush 2.0 Sustainable and inclusive haircare brand Amika has developed an innovative hair styling tool that promises an effortless, glossy finish. The Blow Dryer Brush 2.0‘s large oval barrel creates volume at the root, while its dynamic duo of long and short bristles detangle, smooth and minimize breakage. Also key are the adjustable heat settings, which provide a customized blowout that works for a variety of hair types.
